About the Job

Requirements

  • Be a second-year master's student, enrolled in an engineering school, or in an equivalent program.
  • Have solid programming skills in Python and PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Have basic knowledge of deep learning, including neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and Transformers.
  • Have knowledge of artificial intelligence.
  • Have English proficiency at B2–C1 level.

Responsibilities

  • Model a test corpus of 40 to 50 short tactical scenarios in military formats such as SITREP, INTSUM, and radio communications, including coherent cases, temporal contradictions, and direct information manipulation.
  • Implement a minimal agent and retrieval-augmented generation pipeline, including a simple vector database such as FAISS or ChromaDB.
  • Connect a compact open-weight model, such as LLaMA-3-8B-Instruct or Mistral-8B, using deterministic tool-calling.
  • Instrument extraction of residual-stream tensors while processing conflicting data.
  • Implement a baseline using direct logit-lens projection and linear probes on intermediate layers.
  • Deploy a simplified J-lens operator on identified critical layers to project activations onto concepts such as true, false, doubt, and conflict.
  • Compare J-space effectiveness with linear probes for detecting unresolved source conflicts.
  • Define a divergence metric comparing confidence expressed in generated text with alert-token presence in latent space.
  • Deliver a streamlined software demonstrator, such as a scoring API or visualization script, for C2 scenarios.
  • Write the internship thesis and a technical synthesis note for research and technology.
